    So this is what ive got....the smaller loop fits the stock bottom mount...but then the resevoir would be down there...the bigger loop wont fit the stock mount...this isnt going to work is it...

    Nope...the bushing needs to be a different size! Where did you get them? Can you return?

    Nevermind, just saw! Put them back up on craisgslist!

    Thread revival...i took these out today to list them on craigslist and actually yook the time to measure them....its roughly 26.5" extended and 16.75 collapsed...o had some ideas..look at the pictures....can a monotube shock with resi be mounted upside down like that? Note that im also 4"+ lifted in the rear..That loop fits the taco...and a stem conversion on the rod end....discuss why it will/wont work shock experts...im having a hard time letting these go emotionally haha...so they might work mounted like that i might just keep them..

    you have to put your truck on a lift and remove your shocks. your rear suspension will then droop and show the length that you need for your setup. the eye-to-stem adaptor will add at least another inch.

    your main issue will be your compressed length. Measure from mount to mount and subtract the distance from frame to bump stop. That adaptor will add 1-1.5" unless your friend designs a shorter one!

    we'll tackle this tomorrow...he pretty much took a 1.5" adapter he had from one of his customers and replicated it to fit to bigger loop...height wise...it's the same 1.5" they sell everywhere...
